💕Happy late valentines/ace week!!! 💕
This piece is a celebration of animals that can reproduce asexually in various ways. Under the readmore you can find a key to the species included and some information about how they reproduce.
Tumblr media
These are very simplified definitions, if you're interested in this stuff definitely do more research and reading! The intricate details are really fascinating and specific to each animal- plants are even crazier!
Budding: a new individual develops then detaches from the parent when mature
Fragmentation: a new individual grows from a detached piece of the parent organism
Parthenogenesis: a new individual forms from an unfertilized egg
Facultative Parthenogenesis: the organism can reproduce sexually and/or asexually
Obligate Parthenogenesis: the organism can only reproduce through parthenogenesis
Gynogenesis: a form of obligate parthenogenesis that requires the presence of sperm without any actual genetic contribution

image description. an MSpaint drawing of a hammerhead flatworm, Diversibipalium engeli, curled up in a shape that vaguely resembles a heart. the flatworm has a red half moon shaped head with a rounded black rectangle in the center, and a black body with six or seven squiggly white stripes. above the flatworm is a quote from Tumblr user crevicedwelling that reads: "I tell them that they're beautiful and that they're a problem I can't solve by destroying them". end ID.

Planarian is able to regenerate any missing organ, which has made planarians a popular model in research of regeneration and stem cell biology.

Going to post the Day 6 + 7 catch-up pics later since I’m still working on it.
